Hunger

Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 2 in the series that Stephen King calls a "driving, torrential narrative." An uneasy calm has settled over Perdido Beach. But in this gripping survival story, fear explodes into desperation as food supplies dwindle and starvation sets in. More and more kids are developing strange superpowers and, just as frighteningly, so are the animals in the FAYZ: talking coyotes, swimming bats and deadly worms with razor-sharp teeth are just the beginning. For Sam Temple the strain of leadership is beginning to show and he’s got more than just dwindling rations and in-fighting to worry about – Caine is back with the psychotic whiphand, Drake, by his side. And deep in the ground, the biggest danger of all is getting hungry . . . The GONE series is a supernatural thriller and Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is YA dystopian fiction at its best. Have you read all 6 titles in the New York Times bestselling saga?
